Have You Read the Story of the Cross

VERSE 1

Have you read the story of the cross,
Where Jesus bled and died;
Where your debt wa paid by His precious blood
That flowed from His wounded side?

CHORUS

He died of a broken heart for you
He died of a broken heart;
Up-on a tree, for you, for me,
He died of a broken heart,

VERSE 2

Have you read how they placed the crown of thorns
Up-on His brow for you
When He prayed, "Forgive them, Oh, forgive,
They know not what they do?"

CHORUS

He died of a broken heart for you
He died of a broken heart;
Up-on a tree, for you, for me,
He died of a broken heart,

VERSE 3

Have you read how He saved the dying thief
When hanging on the tree,
When He looked with pleading eyes and said,
"Dear Lord remember me?"

CHORUS

He died of a broken heart for you
He died of a broken heart;
Up-on a tree, for you, for me,
He died of a broken heart,
